A bustling East Bay community
North Hayward is a busy East Bay neighborhood within walking distance of the city’s vibrant downtown district. Residents head out their front doors and into an urban streetscape brimming with early 20th century homes, apartment buildings, restaurants and shops. It’s also very close to several major highways, making it popular with Bay Area commuters. “We get a lot of buyers who can afford a home, but can’t necessarily afford to live in San Jose, Fremont or the Peninsula. It’s got great access to all of those places though, and at a much lower price," says Realtor Beverly Hardy of Re/Max Accord, who has worked in the area for more than 35 years.

Early 20th century homes, new apartments and condos
North Hayward’s tight city streets unfold with rows of eclectic, early 20th century style homes. Largely built out between the 1920s and the 1950s, there’s a wide array of California bungalows, ranch homes, Craftsman homes and Mediterranean Revival style builds on display. “These are not cookie cutter houses,” Hardy says. Lots sizes are typically on the smaller side, but there’s still plenty of room for landscaping, gardening and backyard parties. Well-maintained sidewalks, manicured front lawns and parallel parked cars are a common sight throughout the neighborhood. Home prices typically range from around $800,000 to $1.3 million depending on the home’s size, age and renovation status. Newer apartment buildings and condos can also be found here, including Mesa Verde, a gated condo complex with modern amenities like a community swimming pool.

Diverse dining close to downtown
Much of the neighborhood’s shopping and dining are located along the community’s busiest streets: Mission Boulevard and Foothill Boulevard. Diverse culinary options are abundant: The Sister’s House dishes out Korean classics; Golden Safari serves authentic Nigerian fare; and La Piñata is a local chain known for its Mexican standards, outdoor patio and colorful décor. There’s a Safeway on Foothill Boulevard for groceries and everyday essentials, while specialty goods can be found at Las Montañas Supermarket. Downtown Hayward is just south of the neighborhood, a tiny town center filled with local businesses, restaurants, breweries and entertainment.

Hayward’s Japanese Gardens
While there are no parks within North Hayward, it’s just a short walk or drive to Carlos Bee Park. This tree-covered green space is where residents can cool off in shady picnic areas while the kids romp around the playground. Peace and quiet is right around the corner at Hayward’s Japanese Gardens, a local favorite with koi ponds, a waterfall and trees and flowers that bloom spectacularly in the springtime. For a weekend activity, locals flock to Golden Tee Golfland, an amusement park with an elaborate mini golf course. There’s also City Sports Club within North Hayward for those in search of a gym membership.
